H.B. Fuller Co manufactures and sells adhesives, sealants, and other chemical-based products. The company organizes itself into three segments: Hygiene, Health and Consumable Adhesives, Engineering Adhesives, and Construction Adhesives. It generates the maximum revenue from hygiene, health, and consumable adhesives. This segment produces and supplies a full range of specialty industrial adhesives such as thermoplastic, thermoset, reactive, water-based, and solvent-based products for applications in various markets, including packaging, converting, nonwoven, and hygiene (disposable diapers, feminine care, and medical garments) and health and beauty. The company generates around half of its revenue in the United States.
